3.1.2.2 Connect Retry Timer

The Connect Retry timer is used to trigger periodic connection establishment retry attempts while communication is down between the failover partners. This timer is reset whenever the communication between the failover partners is down. It is a periodic timer with a default value of one minute<4>; that is, unless the timer is stopped, it will expire after every minute. This timer value SHOULD be set appropriately, factoring in the link speed and round-trip time of the TCP connection. This timer has to be stopped when the server establishes connection with its failover partner.
